Stylish body language, good looking and a head turner
Smooth and strong 4-stroke, 113cc engine(especially below 60 kmph)
Superb clear lens halogen headlamps, bright enough for most situations
Big under-seat storage, 21-liters - best among the competition
Beautiful touches with chrome bits, makes it more beautiful
Nice "wooorrr" sound and smooth acceleration
Throttle response and low speed acceleration is good
What I don't:
Engine sounds strained on hard acceleration, even with one passenger
Like other new models, petrol inlet could have been located outside
Another version with alloy wheels and disc brake will help people looking for those
Fit-and-finish could have been better, few panel gaps really annoying in new ride
Missing usable hooks, dashboard box, digital display, which are nice to have features
Annoying loud "TUDD" sounding side stand, gentle and nice clicking under seat lock is designed by two engineers from two different planets
Life-time ambition bucket list:
As my blue Discover 135 and green Fiat Palio are already fighting hard to find a parking space at my rented house, a new search has been initiated by the home minister's bucket list of ambitions and again confirmed by the referral bonus given by my company(thanks a lot to the friend who joined through my reference).
The home minister's background story, which will explain how the scooter of her own become an ambition in her life, will surely make you lock the computer and walk out of the home / office and take a smoke / tea. So, I will safely ignore that part.
Up to the time we decided about ruining my little kid's intelligence via the world-class "super-computer" powered educational institutes in our country, there was no need for another motor to arrive in our family. As usual, the Discover served the purpose from and to office and the Palio carried us on occasional weekend trips. We rarely looked at any scooter while one of the ambition list items kept beeping in one of the unattended corner of the brain.
After finding the world-class institute close to our home, I thought of gifting her the bucket list item even though the school was located at a walk-able distance. Also, from that day, the home-shifting idea emerged in my mind. So, removing all kinds of obstacles from the home to school commute was inevitable. We finalized on the scooter plan as it is ticking more than one need such as home to school daily commute, long pending lifetime ambition of the home minister
